When we first ...Calcutta is such a wonderful place. When we first landed there many years ago, it felt terrible, I hated the city, but soon I started loving it so much, and even now anything related to Calcutta always interests me. The days I have spent roaming around the college street, catching the trams, then suddenly deciding it was too slow, and jumping into a running private bus/ mini bus, or a double decker can never be forgotten. The city is never boring, one can spend hours walking the streets of Gariaghat, lake market, maidan market, without buying anything, or buying lots and lots of things.<br />The puchkas, the googni, the beetroot cutlets,oh, the taste is still lingering in my mouth.<br />Yes, the Ambassador taxis, and the rickshahwallas, it is a city with its own unique character.<br />The private buses would be so full, but as soon as they see a woman they would stop and shout " janana hai, rok ke chalo", and just scoop you off the bus stand, before you can even react.<br />It was really fun living there. And everybody would be addressed as Didi or dada.<br />Thanks for bringing back all the wonderful memories of this place.Rama Ananthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00962222316822524699noreply@blogger.com
